The OrlOT Diamond.

This magnificent gem, which in it's
rough state formed the eve of an idol
in a temple near Trichinopoli, was
stolen by a Frenchman, who escaped
with his prize to Persia, and who, fear
full of being discovered, was glad to
dispose OF his ill-gotten gem for sum
of about e2, ZOO. The man who bought
the stone, Jewish merchant, sold it to
one Shafras, an astute Armenian, for
fl2, 900. Shafras had conceived the
idea that by carrying the stone to Rus
STA he would obtain from the Empress
Catherine the Great princely sum for
it. How to travel in safety with the
stone, the theft of which had of course
been discovered and proclaimed, be-
came grave consideration. 1t was too
large to swallow, and no mode of con-
cealment presented itself to Shafras
that seemed secure from discovery.
The way in which he solved the prob
lem was remarkable. He made deep
incision in the fleshy part of his left
leg, in which he inserted the stone,
closing the wound carefully by sewing
it up with silver thread. When the
wound healed the Armenian merchant
set out on his travels quite boldly, and
although more than once apprehended,
vigorously searched, and even tortured
a little, he was obdurate and firmly de-
MED having the stone in his possession.
Having at length reached his destina-
ton, he asked from the Empress the
sum of $40, 900 for the gem, an amount
of money which Catherine was unable
to raise at the moment. We next find
the Armenian at Amsterdam with the
intention of having his diamond cut.
Here the stone was seen by Count Or
loft, who determined to purchase it for
presentation to his royal mistress, the
Empress Catherine The sum ultimate
ly paid for the gem was about G70,000
sterling in cash, together with an an
nuity of $500 and patent of nobility.
Shafras fourished exceedingly, and
died millionaire. Such, in brief, is
the story of the Orloff diamond

might be aroused by this scene of heart
broken wife's anguish.
Mrs. Koschnitzbi and her daughter were
placed on the stand and corroborated Bis
marck's" statement relative to the conduct
of the defendant after the crime. As it
now looks, the prosecution has made a
stronger case than many of its warmest
friends believed was possible.
The daughter of Bismarck" Minnie
KoschnitZki, n little 12-year- old girl, was
placed on the stand, and testified in regard
to her fathers movements Immediately
preceding and following the murder, and
to the paying of money 10 her mother by
Arensdorf. At this point the State rested
its case, and the defense began by attack
ing the character of the principal witnesses
for the State" Bismarck" and the Leav-
tits. Several witnesses swore that the for
mer was beastly drunk on the night of Au-
gust 3, and that his character was bad.
Testimony was introduced to the effect that
the Leavitts had denounced the murdered
preacher, and expressed the hope that he
would be killed.
Several witnesses swore positively that
an hour before the murder they saw
Leavitt on Fourth street, wearing light
pants. Other witnesses testified to his
having made remarks about killing Had
dock the day of the murder. The defense
are evidently laying the foundation of q
plot charging Leavitt with the act of
murder.

Powers or the Coming Brain.

We say that education is process of
training and furnishing the mind; but
what is the mind? That it's ultimate
essence is an ethereal something, with
out weight or dimension, we believe !;
but this is beyond the province of prac-
teal education. The brain, for all
practical purposes, is what we are
called upon to educate. BY studying
this organ we find that it is composed
of fibers, curiously and orderly ar
ranged, and that the quality of mind
in the lower animals and man is deter
mined by the number of its convolu-
tons and the fneness of its texture.
Could the brains OF all the orders of
animals, from a single nerve-center 10
the highest type of human brain, be
arranged in order before us, we should
have an illustrated history of mind.
During long SUGGESTIONS of Gons the
brains have been developing from the
simplest convolution of nerves to the
best brain yet evolved. All this, we
believe, has been worked up" under
the guidance of a supreme power,
whose guiding hand has been active
through all the ages in the multitu-
dinous forms of progressive animal and
vegetable life, until we hold to-day the
advanced position we now occupy.
But creation is on an onward march,
and education hastens il forward. At
no time in the history of the physical
universe has mind occupied SO high a
place, whether we regard its quality or
quantity, and at no time in the future
will it occupy so low a place as now.
The powers of the coming brain will far
exceed anything the world has yet
known.-School Journal.

4 Reliable MESSENGER.

A touching story comes to US from the
South illustrative of the close relations
which existed between many of the bet
ter class of shareholders and the better
class of slaves. In 1858 Colonel A.
Campbell, the owner of large sugar plan
tations in Louisiana, found that it was
impossible to receive the money due to
him from his consignees in Nashville,
the line being drawn closely between the
sections. Several other planters were in
the same position. Their debtors, they
knew, were ready and willing to pay,
but there was no safe way of transmit
ting the money. Any Southern man who
crossed the blockade was liable to be
hung as spy.
Colonel Campbell called all his brother
creditors together.
81 know of. messenger whom I am
willing to trust" he said. "He is my
old body servant, Sanford. You must
judge for yourselves whether you will do
the same"
Sanford was slave. The money in all
amounted to $50, QUO. Years before the old
man, who was Methodist preacher, had
lectured his young master on the wick
edness of holding slaves.
:'He's an original abolitionist," said
Colonel Campbell now, land as soon as
he enters Nashville he will be surrounded
by hundred slaves flying to the North.
Should he steal. the money and escape he
would be free and rich for life. But
will trust him to come back.
1t was desperate chance. But partly
because. perhaps, the money could
not be got in any other way the
other planters resolved to take the
chance.
"On de fust OBJ de mont you can look
fob me, Mars. Aleck. If don't come
den, you may reckon on old Sanford as
dead"
Sanford entered Nashville with crowds
of negro refugees, and for some days
could not succeed in gaining an inter-
view with his masters creditors. He
finally succeeded. presented his letter,
and received the money, which he sewed
up in his collar.
As the month passed the other credit
ors became uneasy. Every day Colonel
Campbell drove anxiously out the road
by which Sanford must come. but in
vain.
On the last eve of the month tattered,
limping figure came in sight.
stHyah's de money, Mars. Aleck!
Count d m bills, sah!" said the old man,
with justiiable pride.-Indianapolis

A Great Bear Hunt.

John Duncan has just returned from o
hunt in the mountains near his place,
SAYS recent letter from Centreville,
Utah, to the Philadelphia Neaos. He
was prepared for any kind Of game that
might turn up, and in the course OF his
tramp he came upon three bears. When
he first saw them he was about thirty
wards from the nearest one, which hap
pened to be big female. She was some
distance apart from the other two, which
were lying close together, and somewhat
smaller than her. Mr.. Duncan fired at
the big she bear, wounding her, when she
came for him in rage. He fired again
and yaiu. the final and fatal shot taking
effect when the savage brute was but
eight or ten feet distant from him.
The first one killed, Mr.. Duncan
turned his attention to the other two,
which still remained close together,
where he first saw them He fired at one
OF them, wounding it in the neck. The
wounded bear howled and began cutting
its companion, as if it supposed that its
pain was caused BY its comrade. Mr..
Duncan fired again and wounded the
other. Then began fierce battle be-
tween the two enraged brutos, each evil
IDENTIFY supposing the other to have in
fiicted the hurt from which it suffered.
MIR. Duncan waited till there was lull
in the fight, when he fired, killing one
of the omuatants. Another shot took
fatal effect in the corpus of the third
bear, and Mr.. Duncan found himself the
champion bruin bagger of the country.
Three dead bears lay around him, the
fruits his combined courage, luck and
Workmanship.
